Who do you hate the most?

[dogtown123]

I am not gonna say I hate Hatton, but I don't like the way he looks and it bothers me, it gets on my nerves he beat KT =P.

ye hes dirty and he fights dirty

[NiGe2011]

you're a racist black ***** is all it is..i saw your greatest list...rahman on top gave u away buddy..

Uh... the last time I checked I was not black... But maybe that has changed since I was in a mirror last. In any event, onto the Gatti thing. The talent thing I am not going to address too much as we will see about that this weekend anyway. As for Gatti being a Warrior and not scared and loves to fight, and blah blah blah-- here is my stance on all that. Gatti is one of the most protected fighters in boxing, and that bugs me because nobody calls him out on it. I mean, who has this guy fought? He has fought ONE elite fighter and that was years ago against De La Hoya (a fight in which he got smoked I might add). I mean, alot of fighters could look good if the best guys there were fighting were the likes of Mickey Ward, Ivan Robinson, and a one foot in the grave Jesse James Leija. And guess what, now that Gatti has finally stepped out of his little circle of B and C list fighters for a monster payday, he is going to get smoked again. Second, I don't want to hear about this BS about Gatti being a warrior, especially when he built what little stature he has by essentially cheating his way to fame by coming in super heavy against guys who were on the fringe themselves. I mean, no matter how many times people mention Joey Gamache it is like you Gatti fans just ignore it. Gamache was about as nice as it gets, the guy came in and signed autographs and spoke to my class when I was still in elementary school. And I lived in a town of less then 700 people in rural Maine, so it is not like he was just in the neihborhood. Did he deserve the fate he suffered? I think not. Lets ask Gamache if he thinks Gatti was a warrior when he came in about three weightclasses heavier then Joey and ended his career by giving him brain damage just because Atlantic City's prodigal son was seeking bigger payday's on HBO. Gamache does drywall in Maine now because of Gatti, not exactly fitting for an ex-champ who once fought Julio Cesar Chavez if you ask me. Another thing, I think that part of the reason that fans are so obsessed with Gatti is just because he is white. The guy is basically a bum fighter who turns into a punching bag when he gets in the ring against elite competition, hardly the first guy to carry that resume. So why does he get so much attention I wonder... So my thoughts on Gatti are that he is undertalented, classless, over-protected, and a creation of the media hype machine. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking... what's not to like?

Joey knew what he was getting into, thats not a ****ing excuse. Yeah gatti blows up like a balloon it was to be expected. Not counting on it is their mistake not his.

My heart is breaking, thats what the sport is about if you don't like it, its your problem. He knew coming in with gatti he was in for a war.

People are obssessed with him cause hes white eh, well tell that to 50 of my black friends who like Gatti because his fights are not a ****in snooze fest.

Noe of your points are really valid, no **** Gatti goes down when someone like DLH is in with him, but like I said in a pervious post Gatti always brings that puchers excitement to the ring and always trys to make it a war.

Forget that about Gamache knowing what he was getting himself into, they changed the damn rules because of what Gatti was doing in that period of fights. It was bending the rules so he could have an advantage and it ended the career of a good fighter and a good person, and even could have ended his life-- that is NOT what the sport is about. I never said that people are obssessed with Gatti because he is white, but I am saying that it is ****** to say that people hate him because he is white, because in the world of main stream media his skin color certainly does not hurt his marketablity and any realist would tell you that. He always has a punchers excitement and "makes it a war"? So basically he is a underskilled slugger who tries to win when he is fighting, well let's just rush him into the hall of fame now! I mean, no other fighters have that resume! And for somebody who says that I have no valid points you were curiously silent about me calling him protected.

Well, I agree that he dosn't belong in the hall of fame, and being protected, well, who really isn't. Don't you think hatton was up untill KT. If every fight was with a dlh he wouldnt have a career, managing that is whats importanr.

Look I am not saying gatti is god, he is going to loose vs MW, he is protected to a degree.

All I am saying is he is an exciting fighter and does a lot for the sport of boxing, and boxing needs it. I don't think he is as utalented as you make out.

See despite my distaste for the man they call "Thunder", that kind of attitude I can understand and live with. What particuarly annoys me is the people who make it out that Gatti is this ultra-talented phenom who wages battle unlike anybody the sport has ever seen, when there are tons of more talented ELITE fighters, both in the past and today, who have done the same thing for years.... That and I hate him because of the Gamache thing... hahaha

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Um dude not many people think Gatti is ultra skilled. For you to get annoyed by that shows you hate Gatti to react so strongly to suc maginal beliefs.

Of course I hate Gatti, that is what this thread is about right? What fighter you hate most? Well, I hate Gatti most! The talent thing is just one of the many reasons I hate Gatti, but I never attempt to hide the fact that I am a hater when it comes to this guy. I wear it like a badge of honor!

[Poolstroke]

My most dislike is to Roy Jones the most over rated fighter there is. For anyone to have Hopkins on their hated list is rediculous, this man came from the bottom and worked his ass off to get where he is.

lol...and Roy BEAT Bernard. Like Roy didn't work his ass off with his dad making him train all DAY when he was an amateur.

See, this is why hating is ******. Haters have no logic, only bad taste.
